CHAPTER XV.
MR. PON'TIFKX'S WIFE.
The next morning, Mr. Pontifex,
before going to "business, ' took a
stroll into the High Street, Islington,
as far as a certain pawn-broker's shop,
into which he dived. He familiarly
saluted the young man behind the
ceuntej, with whom he was evidently
on terms of intimacy.
"Just look out this, and I'll pay
you the interest," he said, throwing
a pawn ticket upon the counter.
The shopman examined the card
and shook hiB head.
"This has been out of date some
time, Mr. Jones," he said. "I don't
know whether it Isn't sold."
"Sold ! Nonsense, Frank .'"answer
ed Mr. Pontifex. -'You would not
sell up the things of an old and es
teemed customer like me. I should
never be happy again if I thought
that article was sold. It is a family
jewel; has been in our family for up
wards of a hundred yeara; was pre
sented to an ancestor of mine by the
unfortunate Charles Edward, just be
fore the battle of Culloden."
The shopman looked about in the
drawers, and at last found the miss
ing article.
"Only justin time," he said. -'It
would have gone down to Deben
ham'a to-inorrow. Well, there's no
mistake about It, 'tis a beauty ; and
whether Edward Culloden or anybo
dy else gave it to you, I don't suppose
you'd care to part with it."
"I dare say your governor would
like to get it, though, "answered Pon
tifex, "considering the sum he lent
upon It."
"I say, Mr. Jones, I thought you
said It was more than a hundred years
old I Why, here's Dent's name on
the case."
"Oh, yes; it has had a
several times," answered
coolly.
The subject of this conversation
was n small but magnificent gold
watch, on the back of which were the
initials "E. J3." set in rubies and em
eralds. I
Having paid the interest, and re
ceived in exchange a new ticket, Mr.
Pontifex bade "Frank" good morn
ing, and passed out of the shop.
"Glad I was in time to save it,"
he muttered. "Shouldn't like to
lose it for such a paltry sum. Wish
I could sell the duplicate; I must
look out for a customer."
Mr. Pontifex's next proceeding was
to mount to the top of a City omnibus,
upon which ho proceeded as far as the
Middlesex end of London Bridee.

Pontifex,
"Have you brought mo any mon
ey?" was tho woman's eager question
as tho door closed behind tho fisher
man. "What you ask for."
"Send for a drop of gin. I feel that
111 this morning'that I can scarcely
hold my head up," she said.
"You have had some already, I see,"
he answered throwing down a shil
ing. Without waiting to reply, she seized
upon the coin, and calling to a bare
footed, ragged boy who was standing
at the door, gave it to him with tho
bottle and a whispered instruction.
"Only a little dropout of a quar
tern of rum that old Bilge sent for,"
she said, returning.
"Who is this Bilge, or whatever
his name is?'
"Only one of the lodgers. What,
you ain't jealous, are you, Ned?" she
cried with a leer.
"Jealous!" he echoed, contempt
uously. "There was a time when such an
idea would not have seemed redicu
lous," she answered, with an angry
flush upon her face; "andiflam so
disgusting as you make out now, who
made me so?"
"This!" he said, pointing to the
bottle which the ragged boy brought
in at that moment.
"And who drove me to it ?" she
cried, gulping down a wine-glass full
of the gin. "Was I like this when
you first knew me? I could have
had my pick out of a hundred better
men than you."
"It was in an 'accursed hour we
first met," he answered gloomily.
"Formeshe retorted, drinking off
another glass of tho liquor. "I was a
lady when you married me what am
I now?"
"You wanted no driving to drink,"
he said, bitterly; "you went to it
willingly enough before you ever saw
me. The love of it has only increas

'I never ill-used you ; it was not
that, but some vile secret you have
upon your conscience, that you have
been trying to drown through all
these years."
"What secret? I've no secret what
do you mean?" she cried, with a
frightful look, and putting down the
glass untasted that she was raising to
her lips.
"That is the best known to your
conscience,' he replied, sternly. "But
I have not come here to discuss old
grievances. I havo brought you the
sovereigu you asked me for. It was
quite by accident that I was able to
do so."
"Thank ye, Ned thank ye!'1 she
cried, eagerly snatching up tho piece
of gold ; "it will keep a roof over my
head. I shall have togiveit all tomy
landlady; she'll turn me out else.
Will 3'ou have a glas3 of anything be
fore you go ?'
Mr. Pontifex refused the profFered
hospitality, and prepared to depart.
'You'll come and see me again
soon, won't you, Ned, dear ? It's
very lonely for a poor creature, with
nobody to speak to all day long it's
no wonder I'm glad to fly to this."
Her speech was growing thick and in
distinct, and her ej-es were heavy
and glazed.
Pontifex promised that he would
pay her another visit at the first opportunity.
over remarkable likenesses, without
there being any meaning in the oir
cumstance. I wonder who this
Charles is! There is certainly a mys
tery about him! I wish I was not
leaving the neighborhood, I should
certainly endeavor to make a few
discoveries in that quarter ; but I cau
not remain at Gripley's now that wo
man has discovered my whereabouts.
I should .'never bo certain of a day's
rest from her drunken persecutions.
By the bye, I heard Mrs. Gripley say
that young Charles wa3 living some
where in the neighbourhood of
Herwes Hill. I will endeavor to
find out his whereabouts."
Mr. Pontifex's cogitations wero cut
short by his arrival at his lodgings.
At the door he met theservant going
out.
"Mr. Kaufman is just come back,"
she said.
"Oh. Indeed!" he answered.
He did not go down-stairs, however,
to welcome his fellow-lodger, but
quietly ascende'd to his bedroom,
gathered together his meagre and di
lapidated wardrobe, made it up into a
neat parcel with a sheet of brown-paper
that he took from his pocket, and
quietly left the house.
Mrs. Gripley's lodgings knew him
no more.
Five minutes afterwards Charley
arrived, summoned by Mrs. Gripley's
message. What a marvelous efTect
the loss of five minutes may work up
on a man's destiny ! Had Charley ar
rived five minutes earlier, what
troubles and heartaches might have
been spared him!
There were great rejoiolngs that
day at No. 9, Grayson Terrace. The
gloomy house looked almost cheerful.
Helen's son had come home from
Eton for the holidays. No cheap,
meagre dinner that day, but the table
spread with luxuries, and Mr. Blake
ly once more rejoiced in an excellent
meal, a bottle of good wine, and a
choice cigar.
Let us now return to our hero, and
see in what manner that same day
was spent by him.
CHAPTER XVI.
UNTO THE END OF THE7FIRST STAGE.
And you'll bring a trifle with
Then alighting, he struck into Low
er Thames Street, and then proceed
ed into tho delightful neighborhood
of Wapping.
His destination was an ill-favoured
house in an ill-favoured street that
ran down towards one of tho docks.
A coarse-looking, exceedingly dirty
woman was standing at the door with
a baby in her arms, who eyed Mr.
Pontifex with a'scowling and suspi
cious air, for even that threadbare
gentleman appeared a dangerously
respectable visitor in that locality.
"I wish to see Mrs. Johnson," he
said. "I think she lives here."
The woman hesitated. Suddenly a
light seemed to break in upon her.
"Oh, you're her husband, I'spose
she said you was coming. You'd bet
ter go into the kitchen you'll find
her there ; there's only Mr. Bilge
mere, and he'll go out if you've got
auy private matters to talk on."
Mr. Pontifex passed along the ex
cessively dirty passage into a dilapi
dated and dirty kitchen with a bed in
one corner, which, with three stools
and a three-legged table, formed the
only furniture.
Seated beside the fireplace, smoking
a short black pipe, was our old ac
quaintance. Jack Bilge. Seated at
the table was tho woman whom we
havo twice seen dogging Mr. Ponti
fex's steps. A bottle and glass wero
before her, and the place smeltstrong
ly of rum.
"So you'vo come at last," said
the woman, a look of satisfaction
. gleaming in her heavy eyes. "This
is my husband, Mr. Bilge."
"How d'yo do?" grunted the fish
erman, casting a sharp glance from
under his shaggy brows at the new
comer. "Well, I'll wish you good
morning." And he lumbered out of
the kitchen.
"Who's that chap?" he muttered to
himself. "Don't look much like her
husband. And who is she? I feel
sartaln I've seen her somewhere be
fore, i should ha7 wormed it out of
her with that drop of drink if he
hadn't a come in. I do feel mortal
curious about them.- Blow me if I
don't go into the wash'us, and see if
I can't hear what they talks about."
Tn less than two minutes he had en
sconced himself with his ear to the
keyhole of tho door that communica
ted between the washouse and the
room in which he had left Mr. Ponti
fex and his wife.
Mr. Bilge having transfered his
tilace of residence from Sandybank to
London, had preferred taking up his
abode in Wapping as the neighbor
hood most congenial with his tastes
md habits, and this is all that need
be said to accouut for his presence in
this localitv.
you, just to pay my rent, won't you ?
What I've got wont keep me in vict
uals." "Why do you live in this neigh
bourhood ? he asked.
"Well the old place is natural to
me ; it puts me in mind of my girl
hood's da3s when I was innocent
and happy ; before I was married '
But Mr. Pontifex was out of hear
ing before she completed the speech.
Not until he found himself in Aldgate
High Street did he recover his custo
mary demeanor and jaunty air; for,
in the stern-faced man who confront
ed that wretched woman, few would
havo recognized the smiling sa7is
souci countenance of Mr. Ponterfex.
When he arrived at the Bank, he
mounted to the front seat of an 'An
gel" omnibus. On the other side of
the coachman was a well-dressed
youth of sixteen or seventeen, at the
sight of whom he uttered a cry of rec
ognition. -
"How do vou do. Mr. Chnrlpq?'' hp
said, raising his hat.
Tho person addressed honored him
with a haughty stare, but did not re
ply.
Mr. Pontifex raised his eye-glass,
and looked again.
"I beg your pardon, sir; I mistook
you for a gentleman of my acquaint
ance." The young man muttered "All
right!" and, taking a cigar from his
pocket, began to smoke.
Mr. Pontifex could not keep his
eyes off him.
"What an extraordinary likeness!"
he said to himself.
Both got down at the "Angel." As
Mr. Pontifex wa3 turning away, his
fellow-passenger called to him. "Hi !
can you tell me the way to Grayson
Terrace?"
Thegenlleman thus addressed look
ed round sharp! at the questioner,
stared, and paused for a minute before
he answered.
"Is
Upon seeing Charley Gntet the
kitchen, Mr. Kaufman saluted him,
and inquired whether he had quite
recovered from his accident.
"Thank you, quite," he answered,
hastily ; then added, in changed
tones, "Mr. Kaufman, can I speak to
you for a few moments?"
"Certainly," replied the German,
with a surprised look at the young
man's pale face and agitated voice.
Mrs. Gripley took the hint, and
left the kitchen, closing the door be
hind her.
Taking out his pocket-book with
trembling fingers, Charley drew forth
the etud, and, showing it upon the
palm of his hand, asked, "Do you
know this?"
"It is one of the studs I gave into
Mrs. Gripley's care how did you
come by it?" exclamed Kaufman,
angrily, and making movements as
though he would snatch at it.
But Charley gripped it firmly, and
answered quietly, with his eyes fixed
upon him, "It is not ono of those
two; thi3 is the third, the missiugone
of the set?"
Mr. Kaufman had by this time
perfectly recovered his self-posscss-
man, perhapa we shall bo able to
come to an understanding."
"Only, for goodness sake, do keep
your tempers, gentlemen, and talk
quietly, or I shall have a mob about
the doors," said Mrs. Gripley, as she
reluctantly left the kitchen, and shut
the door.
She went no further, however, than
the foot of the stairs, where, if they
spoke only moderately low, she could
hear every word.
"Mr. Charles," began the German,
gravely, "you are excited ; so was I,
jut now : the consequence is.'we have
talked a great deal without knowing
what wo were talking about. If you
will calmly explain to mo your inter
est in the questions you have asked,
and exactly what you wish to know,
I may be able to satisfy you."
These words, and the cool, reason
ing tone in Which they were uttered,
bad tho desired effect upon the
youth's fervor.
"If I am, indeed, mistaken, and
have spoken rudely, Mr. Kaufman, I
ask your pardon," he said ; "but that
stud, and an old glove, is the only
evidence I have against one who was
tho murderer of my mother, per
haps." "But you do not suspect Ernest
Wieland of such a crime ?" said
Kaufman, in a softened tone.
"Are you he?'
"I give you my solemn assurance
that I am not ; and I am ready to take
the same solemn vow that Ernest
Wieland is not capable of such a
crime. He, the noblest, the best of
men! Ah! meinGott!,'
"Will you, then, tell me how you
obtained those atuds? Stay, Mr.
Kaufman ; do not beafraid to answer.
I know that you and many others of
your compatriots are political exiles ;
that your lives are mysteries ; that
you are desirous of living unknown.
I havo heard as much from my friend
and employer, Mr, Lewson, whom, I
think, you also know."
"Mr. Lewson is your friend your
employer?" cried Kaufman. "One
moment let mo think." He paused,
then said, suddenly, "Show him your
stud, and ask tho questions you have
asked of me. He may be able to
throw more light upon the subject
than I."
"He Mr. Lewson!" exclaimed
Charley, in great astonishment.
"You aro not deceiving me to gain
time for escape?"
'I promise not to leave this house
until you return and give me permis
sion. Call in Mrs. Gripley you will
find her just outside, I know and let
her witness tho bargain."
Charley fixed his eyes upon the
Germau's face, and it did not blush
before the scrutiny.
"I will take your word, Mr. Kauf-
A Letter with a Curious History.
Mr. John Furay, Special Mail Agent,
has just received a letter, for proper
disposal by him, which has a very cu
rious history. It was written by a
well known Nebraska man, four years
ago, to a dealer in counterfeit money
in an eastern city. The writer inclos
five dollars to pay for $100 of crooked
stuff", which he says ho can easily
shove off $5 at a time on' the In
dians, to whom he Is selling whisk'.
He directs the crooked stuff to be sent
to him through the mails in three
different parcels, so as not to excite
suspicion, and he adds that he will
patronize the dealer to the extent of
several thousand dollars in the bogus
currency. This letter never reached
its destination. It got into a crack in
a mail-car, and remained there till
the other day, when it was found by a
workman engaged In repairing the
car at the shops in Chicago. It was
handed over to the proper authorities,
who forwarded it to Special Mail
Agent Furay, who will send it to the
writer with some sound advice. The
man is said to bean individual who,
if accused of such an intent, would
shoot in a second; he will, therefore,
no doubt, be surprised to receive his
self-accusing letter. Omaha Bee.
A JTew Disease Among the Hogs'.
A correspondent at Monroe, Butler
County, Ohio, writes of a new disease
that has broken out among the hogs,
which is proving more disastrous than
the cholera. It is thus described :
"This season spring pigs have been
taken off by what is called the sore
month (scrofulous.) It affects their
entire system, and by tho time they
die they are a complete rotten mass
from the tip of their mouth to that of
their tail, especially their internal or
gans, which are literally rotten, partly
distroyed by ulceration, and can at
any point be ruptured or broken down
upon the sligtest pressure. Many of
our farmers, and we are, let our other
peculiarities and products be what
they may the centre of the hogdom
of this great hoggish world have lost
this season all their spring pigs; others
have lost from one-fifth to four-fifths,
and some, who until within a few
days have lost none, are now hauling
them out from two to four and ten per
day, and by an estimate made of losses
in this area it will to date amount to
some 3,000 to 4,000 pigs, and from 300
to 500 old hogs, and no present promise
ofielief from this scourgo.
Tomato Catsup. One peck of to
matoes, half a dozen onions chopped
fine, two tablespoonfuls of black pep
per, two tablespoonfuls of allspice, two
ounces of celery seed, a quarter of a
pound of salt, or more if liked, one
pound of brown sugar, and ono quart
of strong vinegar. Tho proportions
used in this recipe are particularly
recommended and it may be relied up
on as being generally admired when
brought upon the table.
A Georgia editor, defending his recol
lection of a certain conversation be
tween two gentlemen, asks ; 'What
aro your ears for?' We can't see
what this has to do with the conversa
tion, but at the same time we aro free
to say that h Is ears seem to be fashion

day, and for coverlug with during the
night.

At that name the German cast a

"About ten or twelve

"Oh, never mind then ; I shall
take a cab."
An empty Hansom was pacsing at
the moment. He hailed it; it drew
up to the curb ; he jumped in.
"Drive to No. 9, Grayson -Terrace!"
he cried.
The cab drove away, leaving Mr,
I'ontifex standing upon the
ment, staring ofter it.
He walked slowly towards his lodg
ings in deep thought.
"That's her son !" he muttered to
himself. "What a strange likeness
to that young fellow ! Very curious !
I always fancied there was something
familiar to me about his face. Well,
there is nothing very remarkable in

"I have not tho honor to be so ad

' 'You havo not the honor to be an

"Yes; to you."

"But I will force you -to answer!"
cried the youth, half beside himself
with excitement.
"You will force me! How dare you,
an insolent boy. address- such lan
guage to me ? I will not stay to be in
sulted, for fear I should forget my
self, and chastise you!"
And Kaufman made a movement
to leave the kitchen, but his opponent
resolutely barred his passage.
"You shall not leave this place un
til you have answered me. Mrs.
Gripleys!" he cried, opening the
'send for
door and calling loudly
afpoliceman."
Mrs. Gripley, who had been on tho-l
stairs, listening all the time, nr-vr
speaking tho truth."
Three minutes afterwards he was
hurrying1 homewards.
Ho asked Mrs. Wilkins, who ad
mitted him, if Mr. Lewson was stil
in the librar-. She answered that he
was. Instead of going there at once,
he went up-stairs to his own room,
and sat down for some seconds. A
strange feeling had come over him
within the last few moments, that
made him shrink from the approach
ing interview, xiis aruor was gone,-
and in its place was a sickening dread.
But there must be no delay. Was
not Mr, Kaufman waiting to be freed
from his parole. He bathed his hot
face in cold water, descended the
stairs, and kuocked at tho library
door.
It was growing dusk. From the
dining-room cause a low, soft waU of
music Blanche wa-5 playingjthe mel

throughout the whole of his future

"Come in," Mr. Lewson.
And he entered.
"Ah, Charles he cried, cheerfully ;
"I am glad you are come back. I
want you to finish this passage from
Plutarch before supper-time. I think
we can net on a littlo lonirer without
lighting the lamp."
"Before I commence writing, Mr.
Lewson, I wish to ask you a ques
tion," said Charley, in a faltering
tone. "Have you ever seen anything
like this before?" And ho handed
him tho stud.
Mr. Lewson took it in his hand, and
regarded it with great surprise.

ed ; "it is mine one of two I placed

You it was you who placed them

"it was! Why does that astonish
you ?"
"But this is not one of those; this
is the third Oh, heavens", if it should

There was a strange expression
gathering in Mr. Lewson's face, as he
asked, in an unsteady voice, "What

"From behind the secret door in

"Who are you thsn?"
